Describe Clomid

Clomid is the brand name for the drug clomiphene citrate. It is taken by mouth and is used to encourage ovulation or make it happen more often. If you have ovulatory dysfunction and/or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and haven't been able to get pregnant on your own, your doctor or gynecologist may give you Clomid. Clomid is made by Sanofi-Aventis US LLC, a pharmaceutical company in Bridgewater, New Jersey, that was founded in 1950. Each tablet contains 50 mg of clomiphene citrate USP and several other inactive ingredients, such as lactose, sucrose, cornstarch, and magnesium stearate.

Clomid works by making you ovulate, which makes it more likely that you will get pregnant. It works by tricking the brain into thinking that estrogen levels are lower than they really are. This causes the pituitary gland to start making more follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) (LH). Higher levels of FSH tell the ovary to make one or more egg follicles, which will grow and be released when ovulation happens. High levels of LH cause ovulation, and when the ovaries release more eggs, there are more chances for a sperm to reach an egg.

Clomid is usually taken for 5 days in a row right after the start of a woman's period. Most of the time, doctors tell their patients to take one, two, three, or even four pills at the same time every day. This depends on how they think the patient will react to the treatment. It's common to start with the lowest dose and increase it as needed. It is best to take Clomid at or around the same time every day. Most people like to take it before bed so they can sleep through some of the side effects they don't like. If three to six cycles of Clomid don't help you get pregnant, you may need to see a fertility specialist and try a more aggressive treatment.

Side Effects of Clomid

Even though this medicine is usually safe, there are a few things you should know about it. Some of the most common side effects are stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, sore breasts, changes in mood, headaches, dizziness, and blurry or double vision.

Even though it is very rare, allergic reactions can happen. An allergic reaction can cause rashes, swollen lips, tongue, throat, or face, and trouble swallowing or breathing.

One of the worst side effects of Clomid is ovarian hyper-stimulation, which causes the ovaries to get bigger. If, after taking Clomid, you start to feel sick, have trouble breathing, or see strange things, you should stop the treatment and see a doctor right away.

Using Clomid is also linked to a slightly higher chance of having more than one baby. The rate is about 7 percent for twins and about 0.5 percent for triplets or more. You should talk to your doctor about this risk and find out if you can have twins or more than two babies.

How do I get Clomid?

Clomid can be bought at both regular and online pharmacies, but because it only works for women with certain health problems, it should only be taken when a doctor tells you to. Because of the risk of getting fake, damaged, or old medicines, Clomid should only be bought from reputable regular and online pharmacies, like ours. We get all of our medicines from reliable suppliers and always sell them at the lowest prices possible.
